Remaining under the radar is key to successful espionage, yet James Bond’s go-to Aston Martins are anything but inconspicuous.

Just ask AutoGuide’s own spies who regularly find the British exotics on test runs. The latest incident came to pass on the famed Nurburgring where Aston Martin just tested its Vanquish Volante. Previous excursions saw the car fully nude, but this time it wore a full camouflage suit.

Nevertheless, these photos offer the clearest look yet at its integrated rear spoiler.

Apart from being able to go topless, the Vanquish Volante will be the same as its coupe cousin. That means the same 6.0-liter V12 engine will send 573 hp to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.
